While I feel theres a slight difference between a lit cigarette while operating a gas pump, and the possible spark from breaking the diaphragm in a low voltage speaker behind grates in the pump body- you know what fair enough. Usually when I see or participate in folks talking about electricity dangers online its folks who have no clue what theyre talking about.
A couple of months ago I was in an argument with folks on lemmy who thought if you put a nine volt battery against your nipple it'd electrocute you. At one point I went and grabbed a nine volt to take a picture of literally pressed against my skin just to prove my point ๐ . A lot of folks seem to mythologize electricity and its dangers, sometimes it even seems to come from folks claiming to have electrical work backgrounds or engineering degrees
Regardless, hope you have a good day, take care :)
